I've removed it as a hyperlink - is that ok?
It's not me who made it a link, the board function did it automatically (as it posted - it was just text when I inserted it).

The question is, why is phishing@bt.com rejecting it?  It's not the first time I've come across this problem with spam purporting to originate from BT.

Even sending pure source code as 'text' gets rejected by BT.

Ha, as if anything sent to ".gov.uk" is likely to get much attention..., if any.

Certainly not BT's.

(But I did already as it happens.)

Hi @DISRUPTED,

Thank you for posting and highlighting the spam phishing email you received. I'm sorry if you weren't able to forward that to phishing@bt.com. The email team are aware that it isn't always possible to forward emails to phishing@bt.com

Unfortunately there are a number of different reasons why this can happens and the email team are looking to improving this to make it easier for our customers.

Thanks,

Paddy

Thank you Paddy. I am now getting this problem for the first time.  I have been forwarding spam messages to phishing@bt.com for as long as I can remember and usually get an acknowledgement. Are you still investigating it as a problem or have the BT recommendations on forwarding spam e-mails changed?

Regards J.
